What it does

Hpca Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about the HPCA review pipeline: the double-blind process, what a single combined rebuttal/revision window means, champion dynamics at the program-committee meeting, how to read each outcome, and how confidentiality and the preprint policy shape expectations.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • What a single combined rebuttal/revision window means
  • Champion dynamics at the program-committee meeting
  • How to read each outcome

Example prompts

  • “/hpca-review-process”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hpca Review Process loads about 950 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~950

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when reasoning about the HPCA review pipeline: the double-blind process, what a single combined rebuttal/revision window means, champion dynamics at the program-committee meeting, how to read each outcome, and how confidentiality and the preprint policy shape expectations.

HPCA Review Process

Use this to set expectations about how HPCA reviews a paper and decides its fate. Understanding the pipeline turns anxiety into a plan: you can predict what the rebuttal/revision window is for and what each outcome signals.

The pipeline

HPCA runs a double-blind review. After the late-July gate, papers are assigned to program-committee reviewers, reviews are written through the autumn, and — in recent cycles — authors get a single combined rebuttal/revision window: one period in which you both respond to reviews and may revise the paper, rather than two separate review rounds. Decisions follow a program-committee meeting; HPCA 2027's reported notification is November 6, 2026 (待核实 the exact rebuttal window).

What the single window means

Unlike venues with two review rounds, HPCA's combined window compresses "argue" and "change the paper" into one effort. Plan for both at once:

  • Reviewers see your response and a revised paper, so a claim you defend in prose should also be reflected in the revision.
  • The window is short; the objection ledger and staging shelf (see hpca-author-response and hpca-supplementary) must be ready before it opens.

Champion dynamics at the PC meeting

Architecture decisions are made by people in a room (or a call). A paper needs a champion — a reviewer willing to argue for it — and its fate often turns on whether the champion can answer the strongest objection. Write the rebuttal to arm your champion with the room, not only to satisfy the skeptic.

OutcomeLikely meaningYour move
AcceptThe champion held; objections were addressableCamera-ready + artifact evaluation
Reject with strong reviewsA fixable but unaddressed methodology or novelty gapFix, then retarget MICRO/ISCA/ASPLOS
Reject with weak/split reviewsNo champion emerged, or scope mismatchReframe the contribution, re-route
Borderline / conditionalThe room was dividedRead every review for the deciding objection
Show full SKILL.md (131 more words)Show less

Read reviews for the deciding objection

Not all objections weigh equally. Identify the one that decides the paper — usually a methodology or novelty concern the champion must overcome — and prioritize it over easy-to-fix surface comments. A rebuttal that answers three minor points and dodges the deciding one loses.

Confidentiality and preprints

Reviews and PC discussion are confidential; do not solicit or reveal reviewer identities, and do not de-anonymize yourself mid-cycle. Recent HPCA guidance asks PC members not to penalize arXiv/CAL preprints, so a preprint is allowed — but posting one that reveals authorship does not change the double-blind obligation on the submission itself.

Expectation-setting pass

text
[Stage] assigned / reviews out / window / PC decision / notified
[Window plan] response + revision both staged? (Y/N)
[Deciding objection] <the one that decides the paper>
[Champion arming] does the rebuttal give the champion the room? (Y/N)
[Outcome branches] accept / reject-strong / reject-split -> next action

Output format

text
[Pipeline position] <where the paper is>
[Rebuttal/revision window] <dates from the current CFP, or unknown>
[Priority objection] <one>
[Outcome-conditional plan] <accept / reject branches>

Reopen the current CFP for the exact review calendar and window dates — the pipeline timing is per-edition and was unconfirmed for 2027 at pack time.
